ever smoked, return the pocket tin with the rest of the tobacco
in it to us at any time within a month from this date, and we

The Questions
1. To what coin of the United
States did the Spanish "pieces of
eight” correspond?
2. What are sun spots?
3. What marks the distinction
between a cathedral and an ordi-
nary church?
4. What are the two capitals of
tarry romano (above, right) adds: “I want my
L ‘makin’s’ smokes to be rich-tasting but without
harshness, and that’s just the way I get ’em with
Prince Albert—mild, fragrant, and extra tasty.
What’s more, P. A. rolled smokes hold their shape.
They stay rolled—and stay lit too.”
You’ll find that Prince Albert smokes cooler
because it’s specially cut to burn slow. That means
mellower smokes without sacrificing ripe, rich taste.

HERE seems to be no corner
J- in the house where the decora-
tors’ art is not applied. Closets
used to be drab and dreary places
but now they are bedecked in
scalloped shelf edgings, gay gar-
ment bags and bright hat boxes.
Dresser drawers are also perking
up. Time was when a clean news-
paper was put in the bottom of a
drawer every so often, and the
date of the one removed pro-
claimed how long it had been
since this housewifely task had
been performed. Now, we make
pads to fit the drawers. We scent
them with our favorite sachet and
find infinite joy in their soft color-
ings.
Machine quilting is just the
thing to give the pads the stiffness
and body they require so that
they will lay flat in the bottom of
the drawer and not wrinkle up.
Glazed chintz in a plain soft blue
with darker blue bindings is used
for the pads made to fit the chest
of drawers shown here. Thin mus-
lin is used for the backing and
sheet wadding for the padding.
When all three layers of material
have been cut the right size, baste
them together. The first row of
basting is run diagonally across
nomically as might be expected.
In the first place, the survey es-
tablishes, to its own satisfaction at
least, that blending the proposed
quantity of com-produced alcohol
with gasoline would make the cost
of this mixture two cents a gallon
more than gasoline. This, it is esti-
mated, would cost $440,000,000 a
year, which might be financed either
by increasing the price of gasoline
to consumers or by the govern-
ment’s subsidizing the whole move
in the interest of agriculture.
Assuming the latter, the govern-
ment would be only $40,000,000 in
the red by the operation as com-
pared with present farm subsidies.
But that is only part of the pic-
ture. In the first place the govern-
ment might have to come to the
relief of the oil industry.
Motor-Car and Truck Users
Would Let Out Big Howl
Again, the idle capacity of the al-
cohol industry, which is about 250,-
000,000 gallons a year, is only one-
tenth of what would be necessary to
supply a 10 per cent blend of alco-
hol and gasoline for the motorists.
So a capital investment of some
$300,000,000 would be required to
provide the necessary facilities.
Then it would seem likely that
the motor-car and truck users of the
nation would let out plenty of com-
plaints if the proposed blend were
forced on them by government fiat.
A road test was conducted this year
by the American Automobile asso-
ciation, in co-operation with the U.
S. bureau of standards. This re-
vealed that the proposed 10 per cent
alcohol blend would be nearly 5
per cent less efficient than straight
gasoline.
What the big trucking companies
would have to say about this can
be imagined, and it so happens
that for some time they have been
organized, politically, and needless
to say would make their views
known on Capitol Hill.
Politics May Complicate
National Defense Problem
Presidential politics promises to
complicate the national defense sit-
uation amazingly. Actually the fight
will be led on the one side by Louis
A. Johnson, assistant secretary of
war, and on the other by Sen. Ben-
nett Champ Clark of Missouri.
Johnson will fight for prodigious
appropriations and authorizations.
For example, he wants 10,000 air-
planes—for the army alone. Of these
he figures about 3,500 will be neces-
sary for training, so that the 10,000
would yield a net of only 6,500 fight-
. ing planes.
Clark will lead the fight against
any such heavy appropriations. He
will demand: Why are they neces-
sary? What good will they be after
a couple of years when they are
obsolete? And so on down the line.
The interesting part of the situa-
tion is that neither of the two men

For Gasoline Is Up Again
Agitation for substitution of alco-
hol—in part—for gasoline, and thus
providing a largely increased mar-
ket for corn, is with us again, but
is not likely to get anywhere.
On the surface the idea is very
appealing. Farmers could turn from
other crops to corn, thus relieving
not only the corn-hog surplus, but
also the surplus in the other crops
from which the farmers would turn
to corn. It is easy to figure out,
from department of agriculture fig-
ures, that virtually all the overpro-
duction of farm crops in the coun-
try would thus be ended.
This would, eliminate the $400,-
000,000 a year now being paid farm-
ers not to raise specific crops.
According to the bureau of chem-
istry and soils, And this finding is
supported by animpartial survey
which is soon to ba published in de-
tail, the idea is nqt so sound eco-

Special Gardens
MANY hobbyists get pleasure
from special gardens. Some
have been successful with all-
marigold, or all-petunia gardens.
Marigolds are available in a wide
variety of sizes and shapes and
provide a golden-brown garden
scene of unusual richness.
Petunias have a wide range of
color, and more and more they
are being used for cut flowers as
well as for garden color and beauty.
Some have grown gardens pri-
marily for fragrance. The best
flowers for such a garden, accord-
ing to Harry A. Joy, flower ex-
pert, are alyssum, carnation,
mignonette, nicotiana, sweet pea
and sweet william.
For a garden of plants without
actual flowers but with showy foli-
age, interesting results have been
obtained with the following: Jo-
seph’s coat, coleus, dusty miller,
snow - on - the - mountain, annual
poinsettia, kochia and castor oil
bean.
The following will fit well into a
typical wildflower garden: Annual
lupin, bachelor button, rudbeckia
(cone flower), columbine, peren-
nial aster, heuchera (coral bells),
and perennial lupin.
Barkley Was Hurt Pretty
Badly by WPA Business
But the consensus is that Barkley
• was hurt pretty badly—as far as
his reputation outside Kentucky is
concerned—by that WPA business.
If Barkley were not, in his own
heart, a candidate for the presi-
dency in 1940, he could afford a
renewal of the scandal. But as
it stands Barkley would like the
country to forget how, on the floor
of the senate, he defended the use
of WPA in politics because it. was
necessary to meet the use of state
employees on the other side.

over Hopkins’ confirmation. At
least few stones will be put there
by senators. The White House, of
-course, and Hopkins’ host of friends
in the left wing of the New Deal,
will try to move heaven and earth.
However, there is no indication that
anyone around the senate will pay
much attention to efforts that Har-
old Ickes, Tommy Corcoran and Ben
Cohen may make to protect their
friend.
Even the senators who are still
for the President do not all like
his left wing lieutenants. There is
the question of believing the best
Democratic stragegy, looking to-
ward 1940, is for a slight turn to
the right, as predicted by Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson. There is the old fact of
human nature that loyalty lies to
the king, but not to the king’s min-
isters.

4. A glorious result (vv. 8, 9).
"They saw no man save Jesus
only.”
11. A Call to Service (vv. 14-18).
Service should never precede
vision. Vision is given as a prep-
aration for service.
1. A needy soul (vv. 14, 15).
We live in a world of such des-
perate need that even the confirmed
"all’s well with the world” optimists
are beginning to see that their rose-
colored glasses cannot make them
oblivious to its sin and sorrow. The
boy was sick; his father was in
despair; and these two things just
about sum up the need of most of
humanity.
2. Impotent Christian workers
(vv. 16, 17).
The man brought his son to the
place where he had a right to ex-
pect help—to the followers of Christ.
But he found them without faith to
help him. Little wonder then that
those around them were still in per-
verse unbelief. We who profess to
follow Christ, and especially those
of us who say that we are His serv-
ants, should be ashamed of our im-
potent gestures toward our needy
fellow men. There is power with
God, power in prayer, power in de-
voted and faithful service to Christ.
Let us claim it!
3. The omnipotent Saviour (v. 18).
Jesus spoke, and the demon de-
parted. The absolute supremacy of
our Lord appears not only on the
mount of glory, but shines even
more brightly in the valley of need.
Words do not suffice to describe
Him, and yet we must by both word
and life proclaim Him to the world
as its living Lord and Saviour.
4. A glorious result (v. 18).
"The child was cured from that
very hour.”
Here is no partial solution, no
“hope to help you” effort to meet
man’s need. Jesus met the boy’s
full need and at that very hour. Just
so we may tell the sinner that he
may come to the Saviour with the
full assurance that his sin will be
put away, and that by faith he will
become a child of God.

Service in the name of Christ can
be nothing but an empty formality,
and a disappointing experience of
one’s inability really to help anyone,
unless it is backed by a vision of
the Saviour in all His glory. To
Peter, whose life we are studying,
there came such an experience as
he went with the Lord to the Mount
of Transfiguration. We cannot
duplicate that day of days in his life
in any physical sense, but we may,
yes we must, withdraw to that quiet
place where we may spiritually see
Him whose we are and whom we
serve as our transcendent Lord.
1. A Vision of Glory (vv. 1-9).
1. A mountain-top experience (vv.
1-3).
Too much of the daily life and
walk of Christians is in the valley.
We need now and then to come up
to the high places where we may be
spiritually renewed. Jesus is ready
to take us as He did the three dis-
ciples, "up into a high 'mountain
apart.” We may not be able to
move our bodies, but our spirits
may soar to sublime heights with
Him. There He will reveal Him-
self in all His glory.
2. A mistaken attitude (v. 4).
Whether Peter was confused by
the remarkable experience, or if it
was but another expression of his
unfortunate tendency to talk when
he should be quiet, we do not know.
But he is a representative of those
who miss the supreme blessing of
such a priceless moment by trying
to tell God what should be done.
Had Peter’s suggestion been ac-
cepted by our Lord there would nev-
er have been any redemption for the
human race. Sin and sorrow would
have reigned supreme in the earth,
while he and his brethren enjoyed a
season of fellowship with Moses and
Elias and their Lord.
3. A divine testimony (vv. 5-7).
God spoke and scattered the con-
fusion of men’s thinking by declar-
ing the deity of Jesus, "This is my
beloved Son,” and His supremacy,
"Hear ye him.” We live in days of
theological and philosophical confu-
sion. We struggle in vain to resolve
the moral chaos which has resulted
from erroneous teaching by any
arguments or by the devices of men.
Let us appeal to the Word of God.

ter how important Harry L. Hopkins
may make his job as secretary of
commerce it will be completely
blanketed, as far as publicity is con-
cerned, by national defense. In fact,
some point out, the better job Hop-
kins does as secretary of commerce,
the less publicity he will get. It
isn’t a page-one story to do some-
thing to smooth the path of busi-
ness, or to lighten its load. But it’s
a first-page story to scare the coun-
try about the possibility of the dic-
tators coming over here, from John-
son’s angle, and it’s also a first-
page story to attack the munitions
makers as inspiring all the bally-
hoo for national defense, heavier
taxes, and endangering getting this
country into war—especially the lat-
ter. And that will be Clark’s bid for
the spotight.
Widespread Feeling for
More National Defense
On the whole, congress is willing
to go very far with the President
on national defense. It doesn’t think
very much of the contention that
this would provide employment, and
therefore, lighten the relief burden.
In fact congress will be told that
the chief limit on the amount of
money that can be spent for na-
tional defense is the scarcity of
skilled mechanics. Unemployed,
more or less shiftless individuals
can be of little use in an arma-
ment program. And actually the
shipyards, the gun plants, and the
airplane factories are all reporting
that they are having the greatest
difficulty in getting the men they
need right now.
As a matter of fact, it is common
knowledge in Washington that the
navy would like to put a great many
more men to work immediately in
its gun factory, but simply cannot
get properly trained men.
But congress on the whole is for
more national defense. More sec-
tions of the country are aroused
than ever before. Congressmen will
be found voting for big defense ap-
propriations who a few years ago
were regarded as staunch little navy
men, if not pacifists. The reason
is simple. Their districts have
changed, and they * are voting in
accord with the new sentiment.

Debunking the "Heroes"
The designation "Public Enemy
No. 1” has done much toward tak-
ing the self-conceit out of crim-
inals who thought they were dar-
ing heroes.
The right angle from which
to approach a difficulty is the
try-angle.
The key to success has to be
put in the right lock.
Consider Your Influence
Others do much toward making
your life, and you are equally in-
fluential in that of someone else.
The only friends we ever
had that we really cared for,
we did not criticize. That is
why we had them.
The worst prison the world has
to offer is enforced association
with a circle of narrow minds.

bloc, and for northern and western
Democrats who for one reason or
another do not like Franklin D.
’ Roosevelt, or the New Deal, or the
particular New Dealers who are
close to the throne.
The hearings that are to come on
the confirmation of Harry L. Hop-
kins will be rather revealing in this
Connection. Hopkins has not too
many friends on Capitol Hill. And
some of his best friends and warm-
est supporters may not be inclined
to get their fingers burned too badly
in defending him. Not that there
is any real question, at the mo-
ment, of Hopkins’ being confirmed.
He will be. But there will be con-
siderable pelting first.
For instance, consider the dilem-
ma that will confront the Demo-
cratic leader of the senate, Alben
Barkley, who fought to the death on
(h the floor of the senate last spring
""a to prevent any hamstringing of the
political activities of the WPA un-
der Hopkins, and who benefited by
the political support of WPA in his
fight for renomination probably
more than any other candidate in
1938.
